But there's also more to enacting legislation. If Sanders wants 10 and Mayor Pete and Klobuchar and Biden want 7, who is more likely to get 4 or 5? Sanders just because he started higher? Then why not start at 20? Or would it be those more willing to compromise on other things, who can forge better relationships, can selectively use executive power in productive ways, etc. I have no idea. They don't talk about this much.

Well, it's not like this is happening in a vacuum. Obama got us to about a 2 or a 3 and the GOP has spent close to a decade trying to whittle it down to a 1.
